How did your kennel get its name?
Started as a pig farm, ended up as a dog kennel

I was stuck in the Yukon and winter was coming fast, I had to find work and accommodation ASAP!! I ended up handling at StinkyPup Kennel. I loved it and went back for a second winter, this time I got to race and caught the bug!

Nowadays it seems that this is the only way to get away from people
